Detailed Product Description

This Cardone ECM (part number 78-6867) is engineered for use in Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer vehicles.

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Confirm vehicle compatibility with Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer before installation
  • VIN programming may be required for Chrysler PCM models with a "v" suffix
  • Check if passive anti-theft system reset is necessary for your Ford vehicle
  • Use a compatible diagnostic tool such as a Tech 2 scanner for programming and resetting
  • Verify the replacement ECM matches the original part number and engineering specifications
